Interlakes residents were saddened to learn that Lorraine Faessler passed away Aug. 15 at the age of 90.
Known especially for her wonderful sewing and baking, Lorraine also owned Bridge Lake’s Busy Fingers Boutique.
She was very good to the community, always providing donations to Bridge Lake School, and being their Mrs. Santa on many occasions.
A resident for over 70 years, and The Free Press’ Bridge Lake correspondent for well over 20 years, Lorraine was well-known and much appreciated.
The community extends deepest sympathy to her husband Charlie, and their large extended family.
A Celebration of Life is expected at a later date.
